PREFACE
This volume is issued by the North Carolina Legislative Ref-
erence Library in order to furnish in succinct form information
about the State, its government and institutions, which other-
wise would require much investigation in many different
sources. Unless otherwise stated, the data in each case is the
latest available.
Similar manuals were issued by the Secretary of State in
1903, 1905, and 1907, and by the North Carolina Historical
Commission in 1909, 1911, 1913, 1915, 1917, 1919, 1921, 1923,
1925, 1927, 1929, and by the Legislative Reference Library in
1931, 1933, 1935, and 1937. The demand for these volumes has
been so great that all previous editions have been exhausted.

of the House. A two-thirds vote of the members present shall
be necessary to sustain any appeal from the ruling of the Chair.
4. He shall rise to put a question, but may state it sitting.
5. Questions shall be put in this form, namely, "Those in
favor (as the question may be) will say, 'Aye,' " and after the

"No.' " Upon a call for a division the Speaker shall count; if
required he shall appoint tellers.

50 Legislative Department
House, the bill shall be first read throughout by the Clerk, and
then again read and debated by sections, leaving the preamble

the House. After report, the bill shall again be subject to be
debated and amended by sections before a question on its

51. Any member introducing a bill or resolution shall briefly
endorse thereon the substance of the same.
52. All bills and resolutions shall upon their introduction
be referred by the Speaker, without suggestion from the intro-
ducer, to the appropriate committee. No bills shall be with-
drawn from the committee to which referred except upon
motion duly made and carried by a majority vote.
53. The Clerk of the House shall keep a separate calendar
of the public, local, and private bills, and shall number them
in the order in which they are introduced, and all bills shall
be disposed of in the order they stand upon the Calendar; but
the Committee on Rules may at any time arrange the order of
Rules of House of Representatives 51
precedence in which bills may be considered. No bill shall be
twice read on the same day without the concurrence of two-
thirds of the members.

of those present, if fifteen in number, be taken into custody as
they appear, or may be sent for and taken into custody wher-
ever to be found by special messenger appointed for that pur-
pose.
Previous Question
57. The previous question shall be as follows: "Shall the
main question be now put?" and, until it is decided, shall
preclude all amendments and debate. If this question shall be
decided in the affirmative, the "main question" shall be on the
passage of the bill, resolution, or other matter under con-
sideration; but when amendments are pending, the question
shall be taken upon such amendments, in inverse order, with-
out further debate or amendment. If such question be decided
in the negative, the main question shall be considered as
remaining under debate: Provided, that no one shall move the
previous question except the member submitting the report on
the bill or other matter under consideration, and the member
introducing the bill or other matter under consideration, or
the member in charge of the measure, who shall be designated
by the chairman of the committee reporting the same to the
House at the time the bill or other matter under consideration
is reported to the House or taken up for consideration.
When a motion for the previous question is made, and pend-
ing the second thereto by a majority, debate shall cease; but if
any member obtains the floor, he may move to lay the matter
52 Legislative Department
under consideration on the table, or move an adjournment,
and when both or either of these motions are pending the
question shall stand:
( 1 ) Previous question.
(2) To adjourn.
(3) To lay on the table.
And then upon the main question, or amendments, or the
motion to postpone indefinitely, postpone to a day certain, to
commit, or amend, in the order of their precedence, until the
main question is reached or disposed of; but after the previous
question has been called by a majority, no motion, or amend-
ment, or debate shall be in order.
All motions below the motions to lay on the table must be
made prior to a motion for the previous question; but, pending
and not after the second therefor, by the majority of the House,
a motion to adjourn or lay on the table, or both, are in order.
This constitutes the precedence of the motions to adjourn and
lay on the table over other motions, in Rule 25.
Motions stand as follows in order of precedence in Rule 26:
Previous question.
Adjourn.
Lay on the table.
Postpone indefinitely.
To commit or amend.
When the previous question is called, all motions below it
fall, unless made prior to the call, and all motions above it
fall after its second by a majority required. Pending the second,
the motions to adjourn and lay on the table are in order, but
not after a second. When in order and every motion is before
the House, the question stands as follows:
Previous question.
Adjourn.
Lay on the table.
Postpone indefinitely.
Postpone definitely.
To commit.
Amendment to amendment.
Amendment.
Substitute.
Bill.
Rules of House of Representatives 53
The previous question covers all other motions when sec-
onded by a majority of the House, and proceeds by regular
graduation to the main question, without debate, amendment,
or motion, until such question is reached or disposed of.
58. All committees, other than the Committee on Appro-
priations, when favorably reporting any bill which carries an
appropriation from the State, shall indicate same in the report,
and said bill shall be re-referred to the Committee on Appro-
priations for a further report before being acted upon by the
House. All committees, other than the Committee on Finance,
when favorably reporting any bill which in any way or manner
raises revenue or levies a tax or authorizes the issue of bonds
or notes, whether public, public-local, or private, shall indicate
same in the report, and said bill shall be re-referred to the
Committee on Finance for a further report before being acted
upon by the House.
59. The Principal Clerk, the Engrossing Clerk, and the
Sergeant-at-Arms may appoint, with the approval of the
Speaker, such assistants as may be necessary to the efficient
discharge of the duties of their various offices, and one or
more of whom may be assigned by the Speaker from the
Engrossing Clerk's office to the office of the Legislative Ref-
erence Librarian for the purpose of drafting bills.
60. The Speaker may appoint a Clerk to the Speaker, and
he may also appoint ten pages to wait upon the sessions of the
House, and when the pressure of business may require, he
may appoint five additional pages.
61. The Chairman of each of the following committees,
Appropriations, Counties, Cities and Towns, Education,
Finance, and Roads, may each appoint a clerk to the said com-
mittees; and the chairmen of Judiciary Committee, No. 1, and
of Judiciary Committee, No. 2, may jointly appoint a clerk to
serve both of said committees; and the chairmen of Agriculture
and Banks and Banking may jointly appoint a clerk to serve
both of said committees; and the chairmen of Propositions and
Grievances and Insurance may jointly appoint a clerk to serve
both of said committees; and the chairmen of Salaries and
Fees and Courts and Judicial Districts may jointly appoint a
clerk to serve both of said committees. All committee clerks
54 Legislative Department
heretofore provided for are to be appointed by and with the
approval of the Speaker. All committee clerks after being
named as provided by this rule shall be subject to assignments
by the chairman of the Rules Committee when they are not
engaged with the committee or committees to which they have
been regularly assigned.
62. That no clerk, laborer, or other person employed or
appointed under Rules 59, 60, and 61 hereof shall receive dur-
ing such employment, appointment, or service any compensa-
tion from any other department of the State Government, or
from any other source, and there shall not be voted, paid, or
awarded any additional pay, bonus or gratuity to any of them,
but said persons shall receive only the pay for such duties and
services as now provided by law. When the House is not in
session the pages shall be under the supervision of the Prin-
cipal Clerk.
63. The chairman and five other members of any committee
shall constitute a quorum of said committee for the transaction
of business.
64. The Committee on the Journal shall examine daily the
Journal of the House before the hour of convening, and report
after the opening of the House whether or not the proceedings
of the previous day have been correctly recorded.
65. When a bill shall be reported by a committee with a
recommendation that it be not passed, but accompanied by a
minority report, the question before the House shall be "The
adoption of the minority report," and if failing to be adopted
by a majority vote, the bill shall be placed upon the unfavor-
able calendar. Such minority report shall be signed by at
least three members of the committee who were present when
the bill was considered in committee: Provided, however, that
where a minority report is filed the proponents and opponents
of the question presented thereby shall be allowed not to
exceed ten minutes on each side to explain the question:
Provided further, that by a majority vote the time may be
extended for a discussion of the minority report and on the
merits of the bill. In the event there is an unfavorable report
with no minority report accompanying it, the bill shall be
placed upon the unfavorable calendar. To take a bill from
the unfavorable calendar, a two-thirds vote shall be necessary.
Rules of House of Representatives 55
65a. A bill from the unfavorable calendar shall not be
debatable, but the movant may make a brief and concise state-
ment of the reasons for the motion before making the motion,
taking not more than five minutes.

each member and shall retain the other printed copies in his
office. A sufficient number of the printed copies for the use of
the committee to which the bill is referred shall be by the
chief page delivered to the chairman or clerk of that com-
mittee. If the bill is passed, the remaining copies shall be by
the chief page delivered to the Principal Clerk of the Senate
for the use of the Senate. The cost of printing shall be paid
from the contingent fund of the House of Representatives. The
Chairman of the Rules Committee of the House and the Chair-
man of the Rules Committee of the Senate shall appoint a
sub-committee consisting of two members of the House and
two members of the Senate from the body of the House and
Senate, and such chairmen shall notify the Principal Clerk
of the House and of the Senate who has been so appointed.
Such sub-committee shall meet daily and examine the carbon

NORTH CAROLINA PROBATION DEPARTMENT
Chapter 132, P. L. 1937
Probation Commission
Composition — Chairman and four members.
Personnel — The Honorable Wilson Warlick, Judge Superior
Court, Chairman; Superintendent of Public Instruction, Clyde
A. Erwin; Attorney General, A. A. F. Seawell; Commissioner
of Paroles, Edwin Gill; and John S. Bradway, Director Legal
Aid Clinic, Duke University.
Term — First appointments were from one to five years with
one member's appointment expiring each year.
Compensation — Actual expenses not to exceed 5 cents a mile
for travel and $4.00 a day for subsistence while attending
Commission meetings.
The Legislature of 1937 provided for the establishment of a
State-wide adult probation system and for the appointment by
the Governor of a Commission of five men. The Commission
exercises general supervision over the Department, formulates
policies, adopts general rules, regulates methods of procedure,
sets standards for personnel and appoints a full-time director.
The Director has supervision of the staff and Probation Officers
and directs the administrative procedure. Under the Statute
the Probation Officers supervise all adult persons placed on
probation by the criminal courts of record in North Carolina.
This includes 27 Superior Courts and 97 Recorder and County
courts.
Composition of Department Other Than Commission — Direc-
tor of Probation, 2 Case Supervisors, 11 Probation Officers,
3 Women Supervisors, Secretary, Supply and Budget Officer
and Record Clerk.
Personnel — J. H. Sample, Director; C. B. Vaughan and L. H.
Ranson, Case Supervisors; Mae Oliver, Fleda Summers Whita-
ker, and Elizabeth James Barrett, Office Staff. Probation Offi-
cers: J. D. Beaty, H. Vincent Leary, L C. Crawford. S. E. W.
Kenney. Kirkwood L. Hanrahan, R. Bruce White, Jr., Tlios. D.
Stokes, E. S. Whitaker, J. Wayland Sledge, P. T. McNeill and

68 Probation Department
A. Y. Howell. Women Supervisors: Pauline Cobb Griffin, Mrs.
Charles Hutchins and Maude R. Jimison.
Compensation — Director, $3,750; Case Supervisors, $3,000
and $2,700: Probation Officers and Women Supervisors, $1,860.
The State is divided into 11 probation districts, each con-
sisting of two judicial districts. One probation officer has head-
quarters in each district and supervises probationers from the
courts in his territory. The districts average 9 counties and
11 courts each. The women supervisors handle the women on
probation from 33 counties each.
The Probation Officers complete case histories on each
person placed under their supervision and contact them at
least once every thirty days during their period of probation.
Every probationer is required to report in writing each month
as to their activities, including name and place of employment,
amount of money earned and how expended and other perti-
nent data as to their conduct. In addition to supervision duties
the Probation Officers make pre-sentence investigations for the
courts when the Judges are not familiar with the defendants
and want to have before them the social history as well as the
past records before passing sentence.
During the first year of operation of the probation system,
from November 1, 1937, to November 1, 1938, there were
1,238 persons placed on probation by the courts. This is about
an average of 100 to each probation officer and woman super-
visor. Of these, 86, or approximately 6^2 per cent, violated
the conditions of probation and were brought back into court
by the probation officers at which time their suspended sen-
tences were placed into effect and they are now in the Peni-
tentiary or in road camps. All of the 27 Superior Court judges
have placed defendants on probation and 76 of the Recorder
and County court judges. The average length of the proba-
tionary sentence imposed by the courts is 2.4 years and it is
anticipated that when the Department has been in operation
for two and a half years there will be between 2,000 and 3,000
men and women under the supervision of the probation officers
and supervisors.

on all convictions of crime in the State; the Bureau's main
function is to give assistance to Sheriffs, Chiefs of Police,
Solicitors and Judges of the State in criminal investigations;

PLATFORMS OF POLITICAL PARTIES, 1938
PART III
1. State Democratic Platform.
2. State Republican Platform.
[73]
STATE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM
Adopted at Raleigh, May 19, 1938
The platform follows:
The delegates to this convention, representing the Democrats
in the one hundred counties of the State, adopt the following
declarations as the platform of the party for 1938:
National Administration
We endorse the record of the national administration under
the leadership of our great President, Franklin D. Roosevelt.
We endorse the heroic measures that have been recom-
mended by the President and adopted by the Congress to
restore normal conditions to prosperity for all classes of our
people. We believe the groundwork has been laid for an era
of unprecedented prosperity for agriculture, labor, business
and industry.
In the spread of the national territory from the original 13
States to the present 48 States, every new geographical frontier
was achieved under Democratic leadership and Democratic
statesmanship. With fixed geographical boundaries. Democratic
leadership, in State and nation, is establishing within these
boundaries new frontiers of human rights and of social service
and security. Never before has the popular mind been so fixed
upon individual rights and the obligations of government to
the forgotten man. Never before has there been even an effort
made by our national government to provide security for old
age, the unemployed and other groups in need of public assist-
ance. The achievement of these great objectives necessarily
involves troublesome adjustments, but no one antagonizes those
new objectives, and the same statesmanship that has projected
them can be depended upon to find the means to make them
work, and without injustice to establish them as a part of the
fixed policy of our government.
Congressional Delegation
We observe with pride the growing prestige of North Caro-
lina's delegation in the National Congress, and record our
appreciation of the services rendered by tiic State's Senators
and Representatives. > ^5 1
76 Political Platforms
State Government
We endorse the progressive record of the State Government,
through its General Assembly, its departments and institutions,
under the leadership of our popular Governor, Clyde R. Hoey.
His administration is establishing new frontiers of service to
all the people.
Public Education
Public education has for years been the pride of Democratic
government in this State. It has been fostered until, with an
eight months high school in reach of every child, we are achiev-
ing the Aycock objective of an equal educational opportunity
for all the children of the State. During this administration
we have:
Restored substantially the pre-depression level of salaries
for teachers;
Provided free textbooks for all the children in the elemen-
tary schools;
Improved all secondary school roads and provided more safe
and improved equipment for transportation of school children;
We are rapidly extending and enlarging facilities for voca-
tional training of children in high schools.
This record of service is a pledge of future interest in and
liberal support of public education by the Democratic party.
Public Health
Our liberally supported and progressive and aggressive
public health service has gone a long way in its efforts to
promote the health of our people, and particularly to eradicate
infectious and contagious diseases. Our efforts in this direction
have been supplemented in an important way by the action of
the trustees of the seven million dollar endowment fund of the
Smith Reynolds estate in dedicating the income of this endow-
ment to the eradication of venereal diseases, and to be ex-
pended in complete co-operation with the State Board of
Health. This liberal action should stimulate our own co-
operative action to achieve this great purpose.
Public Roads
We approve \he major interest of the present administration
in improving secondary public roads that serve the intimate
State Democratic Platform 77
needs of those not on the main State highways. While this
program is being carried out in liberal measure large expendi-
tures are continually being made to improve and extend
standard highways. As rapidly as funds permit new links are
being laid, congested links widened, dangerous curves are
being removed and shoulders improved in the interest of safety
and convenience. Every possible means of co-operation is and
should be given to the completion as rapidly as possible of the
crest-of-the-ridge scenic highway to the Great Smoky Moun-
tains National Park — the most beautiful area on the American
continent.
Highway Safety
We pledge our support to the program, sponsored by the
present administration, to use every reasonable means of
engineering, education and enforcement, to make the use of
our highways safe, and to this end we call upon all public
officials to enforce traffic laws without fear or favor, and we
invite the co-operation of all the people of the State in support
of this effort to reduce fatalities, injuries and property damage
on highways.
Social Security
Through the co-operation of Federal, State and local govern-
ments, regular monthly benefit payments are now being made
to approximately fifty thousand people in the State who never
knew before that government was interested in their difficult
problems of age, unemployment and other causes of disability.
Agriculture
The fact that North Carolina outranks every State in the
Southeast in the value of its farm products is a significant
indication of the intelligent interest that State government has
maintained in the State's chief business of agriculture, through
its State Department of Agriculture, its College of Agriculture
and extension service, its agricultural courses in rural high
schools, and through the numerous activities of these agencies.
It is co-operating fully with every helpful service of the
Federal government to improve the economic condition of the
most numerous class of our citizenship. It pledges a continu-
ance of every helpful service to achieve this end.
78 Political Platforms
Industry and Labor
Under just laws, providing fair and equal treatment for
capital and labor, North Carolina has become a great indus-
trial State.
Today, as in the past, the Democratic party recognizes its
responsibility for the welfare of the workers of the State and
we pledge ourselves to continue the policies initiated by our
party that have won national recognition for North Carolina
in the field of labor legislation and labor law administration.
We are proud of the fact that at the Fourth National Confer-
ence on Labor Legislation held in the Nation's Capital in
October, 1937, North Carolina was one of the 12 States, and
the only Southern State, to be cited for outstanding progress
in labor legislation, in that our State had enacted an Unem-
ployment Compensation Law: had established a State Employ-
ment Service; had provided for assistance for our disabled
aged workers; had provided for occupational disease coverage
in our Workmen's Compensation Law; had provided for scien-
tific surveys of working places for occupational disease haz-
ards; had passed a maximum hours law for men and women;
had passed a model boiler inspection law, and other safety
measures; had adopted an industrial code second to none in
the nation, and had enacted the best child labor law in the
United States.
We will continue to protect the worker in the exercise of
his just rights, recognizing among these the right of collective
bargaining and self-organization free from interference. We
pledge ourselves to maintain and further perfect the State's
child labor law and its maximum hours law and to urge enact-
ment of other laws to promote the welfare of our workers and
the improvement of working conditions in North Carolina.
The Democratic party has opposed, and will continue to
oppose, all forms of intimidation and coercion, whether against
worker or employer, and holds the worker's rights to work
as sacred as his right not to work. We hold that the true
interests of workers and employers do not conflict; that differ-
ences between employers and workers should be settled not by
industrial war, but by peaceful conference. We commend both
employers and employees upon the peaceful relationships ex-
isting throughout industrial North Carolina.
State Democratic Platform 79
Advertising
We approve the program of presenting intelligently and
without boast to the outside world the many advantages which
our State has to offer to prospective tourists, to prospective
residents, and to prospective business and industry. They may
be assured of ideal conditions, and the friendly welcome of a
friendly people.
Prison Reform
We are making rapid progress in a humane and enlightened
treatment of our criminal class.
Our central State prison has been completely modernized
and made fire-proof and sanitary, and now ranks with the
very best institutions of its kind in the country.
With WPA assistance we are rapidly approaching the point
where every prison camp will be fire-proof and sanitary.
Through a regularly employed religious instructor, religious
services are held every Sunday in every prison and prison
camp in the State. This service is provided through regularly
arranged volunteer teacher service.
Recreational facilities are provided and wholesome sports
encouraged.
A genuine effort is made to improve the religious, moral
and educational standards of prisoners. It is believed that this
program will prevent the return of many offenders to criminal
ways.
The parole system has been broadened, and under act of the
last General Assembly a new probation system, under the
supervision of a State Board and probation field officers, has
been inaugurated. It is believed that an intelligent use of this
system will result in reformation to good citizenship in many
cases.
The State Budget
The progressive program that is being carried out in this
biennium is being achieved without any increase in tax bur-
dens, and every dollar of expense, and of bond interest and
maturing bonds, is being met from current revenue. An im-
portant reduction in the State debt is being made every year.
Notwithstanding this broad program of public service tlie
average tax on property in North Carohna is lower than in
80 Political Platforms
any other American State, because no tax is levied by the
State on farms, homes or any kind of tangible property. The
State has been striving for a fair and just tax system to carry
its heavy load of public sei'vice that reaches every home in
the State, without a tax on property, and without unreasonable
burdens on any class. An essential feature of this program
has been a consistent policy of strict economy in every branch
of the State service. Carefully scrutinized appropriations are
again carefully scrutinized before spendable allotments are
made by the Budget Bureau. All purchases are made on
advertised bids to the Division of Purchase and Contract. State
general fund revenues are collected at an average cost of one
and thirteen one-hundredths (1.13) per cent. The total admin-
istrative cost for all departments of the State government is
only four and eight-tenths (4.8) per cent of general fund
revenue.
Good Will
We commend the fine public service of Governor Hoey in
promoting understanding between the State government and
the people, and his administration to a spirit of friendship and
co-operation between all sections and between all classes of
people in the State. In thirty-eight years of wholesome Demo-
cratic control of our State government we have achieved an
enviable position in the sisterhood of States for clean, pro-
gressive government. In this spirit of co-operation we will go
furthest in the development of a great State, and in its ability
to serve the needs of all the people.
STATE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM
The Republican party of North Carolina, in convention
assembled in Charlotte, on March 16, 1938, adopted the follow-
ing platform and if entrusted with the power, will enact those
principles and pledges into law.
State Affairs
North Carolina, geographically and from a standpoint of
natural resources, is one of the most favored States in the
Union. The Republicans of North Carolina are proud of their
State, and glory in its record of achievements. With its natural
treasures and the boundless energy of an intelligent and indus-
trious population, our State should be able, under proper
political management, to conduct its public affairs without
increasing the per capita cost of State government, or increas-
ing its bonded indebtedness; yet, during the past few years,
under exclusive Democratic control, it has increased the cost
of government more than 300 per cent, and has increased the
bonded debt of the State over 1000 per cent.
In order to provide lucrative jobs for Democratic politicians
and their lieutenants, more than 100 departments, bureaus,
and commissions have been created, at an enormous and
unnecessary cost, and in order to provide funds for this extrav-
agance and waste, our State Legislatures and taxing authori-
ties, year after year, spend their time in searching out new
things to be taxed, new methods of taxation, and new ways of
exacting more and more money from the people under the
guise of taxes. We favor the return by the State to the counties
of the entire net intangible property tax.
The General Sales Tax
One of the most unjust and annoying of these tax devices is
the general sales tax, which falls most heavily upon the poor
and laboring classes and forces the merchants and tradesmen
to become unwilling tax collectors for the State and witliout
reward or compensation.
I 81 I
82 Political Platforms
Wrongful Division of Road Funds
The tax on gasoline and the motor vehicle tax is levied and
collected ostensibly to build and maintain the public highways,
yet in order to take care of their annual deficits in operating
the State penitentiary, the Democratic machine, by a cunning
legislative device, has placed that institution under the High-
way Commission, and thereby shift the burden of its mainte-
nance to the road fund, which naturally retards road construc-
tion and maintenance.
This is a wrongful diversion of public funds, and is immoral,
if not illegal, and should be openly condemned and promptly
discontinued.
Reduction of Motor Vehicle License Tax
Since the motor vehicle license tax is excessively high, and
not being used exclusively for road purposes, we demand that
the license tax on motor vehicles be substantially reduced.
The Republican party pledges the people, if entrusted with
that power, to repeal the onerous general sales tax, to reduce
the annual license tax on motor vehicles, to stop the wrongful
diversion of road funds to support the State penitentiary, and
we further pledge to abolish every department, bureau, com-
mission and office that is not essential to an economic adminis-
tration of our State government, thereby reducing the operat-
ing expense, and return many hundred useless political
employees, now pensioners of the State, back to private
employment and honest labor.
Honest Elections and Repeal of Absentee Ballot
The Republican party has always stood for fair elections and
again pledges the people of this State to advocate the repeal
of the Absentee Ballot, for all elections, the abolition of mark-
ers, and demand election officials of our own choosing and
equal representation of both parties in the registration of
voters, and in the conduct of primary and general elections,
to the end that every qualified voter, irrespective of party, race
or creed, may be assured the right of a free ballot and an
honest count, the only safeguard of free representative govern-
ment.
State Republican Platform 83
Non-Partisan Judiciary
We favor a non-partisan judiciary in this State in like man-
ner as we have a non-partisan federal judiciary.
The policy of selecting outstanding lawyers of both parties
for positions on the Superior and Supreme Courts is not only
just and fair, but would prove a wholesome policy and remove
any suspicion of political influence in the administration of
justice in the courts of this State.
Intoxicating Liquors
We believe the question of the regulation or prohibition of
the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors for beverage
purposes is strictly a social and moral problem, which cannot
be solved by making it either a local or partisan issue. Never-
theless, we oppose the legalized manufacture and sale of
intoxicating liquors in any part of North Carolina unless first
approved by the people in a State-wide referendum.
Public Schools
We favor a State-supported uniform system of public schools,
as provided for in the Constitution, with free educational
opportunities for every child in the State, whether it lives in
a poor county or a rich county. We favor free text-books, and
safe transportation of the pupils, where necessity requires it.
We favor a high standard for teachers, who shall be paid a
decent salary, and we favor a non-partisan School Commission
and County Boards of Education, to the end that no political
consideration will enter into the control of the schools, or in
the selection of the teachers.
Non-Partisan Control of State Institutions
We favor now, as we have always favored, liberal support
of all the charitable, penal, and educational institutions of the
State, to be controlled by non-partisan boards.
All relief funds, whether from the county. State or national
government, are derived from all the people, and the adminis-
tration of these funds, whether for the aged and poor, or for
farm relief, is in no sense a political matter, and all individuals
84 Political Platforms
and local agencies that administer these funds should be
selected without regard to party affiliations, and should appor-
tion these funds without injustice or discrimination.
National Affairs
The New Deal came into power upon a Democratic platform
denouncing extravagance and pledged to a program of economy
in government. It has scorned its covenant with the people,
undermined American traditions and institutions, imposed
higher and more punitive taxes, incurred a greater public
indebtedness, and practiced more waste, extravagance and
graft in the expenditure of the people's money than any other
administration in the Nation's history.
It has used public money to build and maintain a p. rt san
political machine.
It has urged the passage of unconstitutional laws.
It has endeavored to destroy the independence of the Judi-
ciary and fostered disregard for law.
It has arrayed labor against capital, employee against
employer, poor against rich, class against class, faction against
faction, and section against section, and has destroyed the
morale, self-reliance and spirit of free initiative of millions of
our people.
It has fostered socialism, communism, and dictatorship, and
has made free America into a land of tyranny and oppression.
It has penalized thrift, individual initiative, and free enter-
prise, at the same time placing a premium upon idleness and
indolence.
We believe in government by law enacted for the general
welfare, rather than by men who are actuated by malice or
sectional, factional, or class prejudice. We believe that ordered
prosperity and the happiness of our people are being retarded
by the conduct of high governmental agencies in arousing
factional, class, and sectional prejudice and hate. Government
belittles itself by encouraging a spirit of vindictiveness instead
of cultivating the spirit of the "good neighbor" and brotherly
love among the people, and also by admittedly pvmitive legis-
lation and taxation. We do not believe the country can prosper
under an administration which covets the "mastery" over any
law-abiding element of our citizenship.
State Republican Platform 85
We solicit the support and co-operation of all citizens regard-
less of party affiliation who believe in the policies of govern-
ment herein declared; who adhere to the governmental
principles of Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln; who believe
that the maintenance of the principles promulgated in the
Declaration of Independence and embodied in the Federal and
State Constitutions are essential to the preservation of our
Republican form of government; and who believe that govern-
ment within the limits of our written Constitution, interpreted
in the light of Twentieth Century progressing civilization, and
the rights of the States as therein declared, must be preserved.
With all those of this faith we desire to join hearts and
hands in earnest devotion to these sacred principles of free
government. Without partisan spirit, placing country above
party, with charity for all, and with malice toward none, let
us join battle with those who would destroy the constitutional
liberties of our people.
